It was very gorgeous.This is a foodie episode, where we talk about John's favourite chefs, the dish he was most proud of making, his wife's sausage and sourdough bake and his secret tip for making cheese toasties extra crispy (I can confirm it works).

In this episode: we join Raymond Troymand and Derek Montague in 'Current News - Radio's only source of news, that is current.'

Then we join the Masterchef team as Gregg Wallace and John Torode set a brand new set of contestants various challenges: cooking their own dish, the dreaded taste test and they are invited to Pierre Petit Ponce Perrie's kitchen to try their hand working in a professional kitchen.

Margie’s castaway is Dhruv Baker. Dhruv not only took part in Masterchef back in 2010 but he went on to win the series and his career has gone from strength to strength since then. He’s published a cookbook, presented TV programmes and regularly writes recipes for magazines. Dhruv went to work in some of the UK’s top kitchens, including Le Gavroche with Michel Roux Jr and The Connaught before starting his catering company The Earlsfield Kitchen, which covered everything from fine dining to BBQs before eventually getting their own premises at the Jolly Gardeners in Earlsfield. To say that Dhruv is a great cook is an understatement. John Torode said Dhruv had a, "talent that very few people will ever have" whilst Greg Wallace added, "that Dhruv is probably one of the most amazing talents he’s ever seen. He has the palate of an angel." I recorded this episode last week at Dhruv’s beautiful home, but by the magical powers of the internet I will be on a little holiday in New York by the time you listen to this or read this, which is very exciting. I’m expecting by the time I come back I will be 98% pancake and 2% maple syrup. The dream. I am the biggest Masterchef geek which I think really comes out in today’s episode and I completely geeked out over the trophy. I wanted more than anything to pose with it, but having my photo taken is not one of my favourite things so I chickened out! I settled instead for taking lots of photos of it nestled on a velvet cushion, which I hasten to add is not where Dhruv normally keeps it. Anyway, Dhruv was absolutely lovely and this episode made me really hungry…you have been warned. His love of food really comes across and he has some delicious dishes to talk about. In this episode I said I’ve never tried Mole but I must have done, mustn’t I? Surely? I caused an uproar on my Instagram (@madebymargie) this week by admitting I had only just had my first cannoli. I feel I am slipping. It escapes me how something so calorie laden and delicious could have passed me by all this time. I am hoping my Mole revelation doesn’t have the same effect. Winter BBQs need to happen. In fact, I feel foolish for wasting the last 30 years of my life by only having them in Summer. Mine is getting dusted off and I intend to cook brownies on it immediately, if not before. How this had never been brought to my attention before is beyond me, but the thought of cooking a batch of brownies on the BBQ and eating them hot off the coals with a cool scoop of ice cream just sounds heavenly. *Desert Island Dish: Starter: Fruit de Mer platter Main course: T bone steak with chips, béarnaise sauce and watercress salad Pudding: Cheese board Luxury item: Coffee Machine * One final thought…can you imagine if I did actually have to pay for all these meals?? She says, with a somewhat nervous laugh. On my salary, literally everyone would be getting gruel. That’s generous, right? Thank you all so much for listening, do check out the website www.desertislanddishes.co and come and find me on Instagram @madebymargie and I will see you when I’m back from New York!

Celibrity Chef and MasterChef Judge

Celibrity Chef and MasterChef Judge

John became a familiar face to TV audiences back in 1996 as the resident chef on ITV1's This Morning with Richard and Judy; a role in which he continued for four years. Since 2004 John has paired up with Gregg Wallace, handing out feedback, criticism and support to hundreds of hopefuls aiming to be crowned MasterChef (or indeed Celebrity MasterChef) and is also the judge and co-host of CBBC's Junior MasterChef. In 2011 John & Gregg also teamed up to guest host Have I Got News For You for BBC1. They are the first ever duo to co-host the satirical current affairs quiz. John's TV programmes regularly attract a huge audience. Indeed MasterChef's popularity has placed John & Gregg on the front cover of several magazines including the Radio Times and spawned three cookbooks to date (namely The MasterChef Cookbook, MasterChef At Home & MasterChef Kitchen Bible) and there's even an iPhone app for that! Sainsbury's Magazine readers even voted MasterChef as the Top TV Food Show of the Decade and it has been included in the Top Ten list of the most Sky Plussed shows of the year. John has also been a hit on Good Food (formerly UKTV Food). He teamed up with comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli for a 10-part series exploring the diverse culinary communities of multicultural Britain. New British Kitchen — Torode and Hardeep's Tour aired in May 2008 on UKTV Food. Within the first week the show was already proving a real success, overtaking the rest of the channel's ratings. A well-known food writer, John regularly contributes to olive and BBC Good Food magazines, as well as Radio Times and Red magazine and has supplied numerous articles for the Guardian, Mail and Observer newspapers. John and his MasterChef co-host are featured in the Daily Mail Weekend supplement every Saturday with their column John & Gregg's Side Dish.
